My car was parked at the grocery store during an electrical storm. Lighting hit nearby and my "keyless entry system" unlocked the doors. After that my key fob no longer opened the doors. In the next few weeks I noticed more odd behavior: My dad's key fob opened my doors, my sister's key fob opened my doors, and a couple of random stranger's key fobs opened my doors. I've had the dealership reset my security system three times now at $40 a pop, and it still don't work right. Great technology! I long for the days before keyless entry technology, when you had to use a key to open the doors.
